What do you want most for the students at Franklin? I want the students to realize they are capable of anything they want to accomplish, and we are here to help them reach their full potential.

What is the best piece of advice you got as a kid?  Leave things better than how you found them.

What are some of your interests outside of the school day? Since I had my son, Declan in May, my main interest is spending time with him and my husband.  We love watching him grow and change!  I also love to do anything crafty- Mrs. Rojas is one of my favorite crafting partners!

What are people sometimes surprised to learn about you?  I spent almost eight years working in Higher Education at a small college in Milwaukee.  During that time, I decided what I really wanted to spend my life doing is teaching children.  I went back to school to get my license and the rest is history!
